The Discerning Texan

I had thought I was finished posting for the day, but then I came across this outstanding post on on the Everything I Know is Wrong blog.  While it was gratifying to see that I am not the only one who has noticed the utter hyprocrisy of the Democratic platform, it is also unbelievable to me that this once proud and great party is now so out of touch with the average American that it feels it must attempt to conceal its true intentions from the electorate, and to fraudulently portray a false ideology instead.  From a pragmatic perspective, I guess can understand why they do it (because they would get slaughtered if America had an understanding of their real intentions, particularly when it comes to the defense of the nation...); but to have a theoretical understanding of why they might do it, and to actually witness what lengths this party will go to to deceive the public are two different things entirely.  It is difficult for me to imagine how the Democrat party could sink any lower than what it has now become:  a party of morally bankrupt socialists pretending to care enough about defending its citizens that it would actually support and continue the Bush policies of pre-emptive attacks and support of the Patriot Act.  It will be really interesting to see what happens when Kerry and Edwards have to get out there and actually try to sell this to its leftist base.  How can anyone take these guys seriously after seeing this platform?
